Yeah we do... some of have been going to a spot in Bartlett, IL but the cops apparently chased the last gtg away.

We also go to the lakefront... which can be a little rough in the winter.

Made from wrenches, not chop sticks.

There's also the old Raceway in Carpentersville, on the northwest corner of RT 31 and Huntley Rd. Raceway Woods, parking off of 31 or Huntley Rd.

I'm pretty new to trailin has anyone tried the trails in the deer grove forest preserve. I went there a couple weeks ago and it was ok I thought. Here is my first attempt at a video. It's a bad video but w/e it was a first try. It was hard filming and driving. Also it's done with my iPhone. I have a gopro in the mail coming. So hopefully my videos get better. Enjoy. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PrguLpTn0-Y

If you guys were closer to The Rockford area we've been going to Rock cut state park a lot.

[Mnster]

2x its visible from my house. I go to Rock Cut quite often with the scalers. Its not world class terrain but great trails for a scale rig with a couple rock walls.

Man, another tough weekend in the garage. Changed out that bushing in the front diff of the Taco. That was a chore! On top of that I thought I had enough gear oil to refill the diff...nope. Didn't even check until it was time to fill it. Ended up with a mix in there so I could run to the store and get more. Like the job didn't take long enough already. I have the dash torn out of the blazer too so taking it to the store was out. I guess I could have braved the cold on the bike.

Also install my new Old Man Emu Dakar leafs on the rear. She's sitting much more level now. My stock springs with AAL's were sagging some on the driver side because of my fat ass. Now I don't have to worry about that spring failure recall either! Had to crank up the preload on the front coils too. The driver's side was down and the 80lb winch up front caused them to sag a little more too. She's sitting tall and pretty today! Like she's got a little pep in her step!

Now if my dang bumper and sliders will ever show up...not super impressed with All-Pro's handling time.

[thzero]

Doh!

[badhoopty]

in the amount of time its taken trey to basically rebuild his truck ive managed to paint the eyes and eyebrows of 2 willies.

[JHTreyIII]

The eyes look great!

[badhoopty]

[Die-Laughing]

Hell yeah!

[bronc4now]

[2.slowduo]

[badhoopty]

pink racing suits. thinking on what to do to tone the overall pink down or if adding a weathering/shading wash will be enough. gonna do the helmets pink and silver.
